|
Answer» Hi everyone cd E:\Documents and Settings\handsome\Desktop\ is panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D} in the file E:\Documents and Settings\handsome\Desktop ? you need to change directory to where the panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D} is and the rename it. FBthx yes thats where I pointed to its on my desktop like I said if I paste this into the command prop and hit enter it works like I expect but not from the different path/directory any clue why this isnt right ?if you the current directory is on a different drive letter, CD is not enough, you need to do CD /D otherwise you remain on the first drive letter. You nailed it summer where I had moved the file was on a shortcut folder which was linked to a different drive.. when I placed the files back on the same drive as the folder it works great TYVM also can you give me an example of the syntax on cd/d ? Again thanksQuote from: chas_3rd on October 16, 2008, 06:42:51 AM also can you give me an example of the syntax on cd/d ? You are in drive C, in folder \apples The prompt looks like this C:\apples> If you do a DIR you will SEE the files and folders in C:\apples But now you want to be in folder C:\oranges You type CD C:\oranges The prompt changes to this C:\oranges> If you do a DIR now you will see the files and folders in C:\oranges You want to change to a folder on drive D, called \pears. You type CD D:\pears but the prompt does not change. It still shows C:\oranges> If you type DIR you still see the files in C:\oranges. This is because the new folder is on a different drive. You have to type CD /D D:\pears The prompt changes to D:\pears> You do a DIR and you see the files and folders in D:\pears. Awesome ty sir/maam im one step closer to being a dos genius Have a good one and thx again chas |
